Again running into issues with not having more granular control of User Permissions. Wondering if this is on the Roadmap and if so (Though I know you can’t say when) is it one of the higher priority items?
1 to this post. This is 1 reason why our company doesn’t want to purchase airtable licenses… needs better security to hide certain tables/views from users.
Couldn’t agree more! As we look to leverage Airtable as an enterprise solution, the ability to set user permissions is huge! In our organization for example, we need the ability to provision someone into a workspace for a specific project task, without giving them access to everything in the workspace. Privacy is key as we have certain more ‘confidential’ projects we are working on at any given time. Would love an update on timeline for bringing this to the platform. Thanks Airtable!
Here is a pretty simple example that is NOT complex. The majority of Airtable’s users CAN comprehend a simple diagram. If they couldn’t comprehend the image below, Airtable wouldn’t even exist in the first place.
The amount of $$ in development of this feature will be paid back to Airtable in the matter of days with the amount of Enterprise customers switching over.
Here is an example of what is possible. Their system is very much set up like Airtables. I just don’t see why this is that big of a “technical hurdle”
One more request for robust user permissions. My use case is that a staff person processes our payroll and invoicing in an Airtable base for which they must be able to add/update/move/delete data. But the payroll and invoicing are subsequently used to generate information for a gross/net profit table in the same base that only management should be able to see. I should have read the AirTable documentation more carefully before devoting months to getting this in place because now, without the user permissions, it is a dead brick for us.
I see this thread going back to 2016, almost three years. That’s disappointing. One can buy the “we are proceeding cautiously to make sure we get it right” response for only so long, especially on basic access/security fundamentals.
